AMERICAN AMUSEMENTS.
The Immense Amount of Money
Spent in Theaters.
A Large Army of Profeadnnala An
Kept llujr-i ort uum Aunually
Hpmt In Truvrlln J on the
Railroad.
It in estimate! that there are per
haps as many as l.uno traveling thcatri
eal comjMinies in tlie I'niteil States,
says the Washing ton I'ost. This in
cludes everything that ean le con
sidered strictly professional companies,
to say not liinir f f the countless amateur
oriraui.ations. Of th.t strictly theatri
cal orirani.'at ions it is safe to presume
that the average receipts jer nijfht for
the 1,(nn companies are SUM) each. At
seven performances per week for each
company the weekly average, as will
he seen. wouM )c SJ.NMI. The average
theatrical season is forty weeks. The
entire I.IMM) companies with an average
nightly receipt of S 100 would produce
weekly receipts at seven performances
ht week amounting to S.SOO.OuO. This
multiplied ly forty, the number of
weeks in a soiison, would 3'it ld gross
receipts amounting to Si rj. 000. 000.
From the above estimates some idea
can be formed of what the American
eople spend annually for amusements
by companies which are known as
strictly professional. Thousands of
dollars are also spent with . amateur
theatrical organizations and lecture
bureaus.
It would apiear from the alxive. state
iueut that a great deal of money is made
by theatrical people. The expenses in
cident to earning' SI 12,000,000 are very
large. It is reasonable to say that
one-third, or Sol,ooo,ooo, of the total
81 12.000,000, is spent with railroads.
Another very large item is expended
for printing, Great fortunes have leen
amassed by printing houses in the
production of theatrical printing alone
Hundreds of thousands ef dollars are
also spent for advertising in news
papers. It is safe to say that 40 per
cent, of the correspondence between
theatrical managers is carried on by
telegraph, which amounts to a great
deal in a year s time.
The traveling companies, howevwr,
are not the sole possessors of the
grand total, 112,000.000. This is di
vided between the traveling companies
and the owners of the houses where the
companies play. The net receipts de
rived by the companies would perhaps
be in the neighlorhood of 05 percent, or
70 per cent., making an average net re
sult of between $75,000,000 and JfSO.OOO,
000. Out of this, of course, comes all of
the expenditure for railroad transpor
tation, and over one-half of the total
amount paid for newspaper advertis
ing. Out of this also is paid fully 15
per cent, of the amount paid to print
ing houses.
' The 1,000 traveling companies will
average fa ft ecu people to a company,
making a total of 15,000 theatrical peo
ple traveling over the country forty
weeks out of the fifty-two. This, of
course, does not include the number
or people employed at theaters. I'pon
the estimate made as to the number of
companies there must of necessity be
the same or more number of theaters,
as two companies cannot play at the
same theater on the same night. There
are at least on an average fifteen peo
ple emploj-ed at every theater, which
would be 15,000. This added to the
number of people traveling would
make a total of 30.000 people. It it
said that there 3,000 actors and act
resses now out of employment. There
are at least engaged in the theatrical
business directly or indirectly those
who make a living from it f.0,000.
Some actors make a great deal of
money; some do not. Those who niake-
the moat are generally those who say
the least about it. Those who make
the least on annual tours are as a class
those who tlo the most talking alout
having done the greatest business. A
great many managers and stars hold
to the old-fashioned idea that they
must always talk about the enormous
business they are doing, the people
they are turning away from their
houses, and how many times a week
the '"Standing Room Only" sign is out.
They do this for the express purpose of
attempting to deceive the public. Tin
Ix-st evidence that a traveling theatri
cal attraction is a good one is the fact
that large audiences attend it.
Old Mexican Minos.
Whenever a cave is newly discovered
in New Mexico or Arizona the finder's
first hope is that he has unearthed an
old Spanish or Mexican mine, but the
seldom or never has proved to be the
case. Generally these holes in the
mouutains are natural caves in lime
stone or sandstone formations, but
sohietiuies they lie between, walls of
hard rock, which perhaps contain
mineral deposits, indicating1 that the
primitive civilized Indians may have
dug1 their way in following a soft
streak iu search of talc to use in pot
tery making, with no thought for
precious metals. Stalactites, snowy
white, hang from their roofs, and where
mineral water has jn-rcolatcd these
crystallizations take on gorgeous me
tallic hues. Human bones are some
times found in these caves and other
evidences of human work or former
occupancy. The Coffee cave ami Rob
inson's cave, in the ISIack range, in
southern New Mexico, have leen ex
plored for several hundred feet, and
other large caves iu that region remain
to be explored.
IDENTIFYING CRIMINALS.
The Ten-Year-old System. Which Ha
l'roveti a I nironu sureeas.
The identification service at the pre
fecture of police, Taris. is one of the
nust recent and not the least curious
creations of the department. It is now
ten years since this service was organ
ized by M. Ilertillon. At the prefec
ture 1 was shown (writes a correspon
dent of the Leeds Mercury) a collection
of about one hundred anil twenty thou
sand photographic records of arrested
Hjrsous who had Wen taken, to the
depot. These are ranged in five hun
dred drawers on rollers, called "cahrio
lets." Hy a process of elimination tlie
packets are so classified according to
distinguishing physical features as to
enable a stranger goiug there for the
first time to identify an arrested person
if previously apprehended bv the pre
fecture in less than five minutes. A
practical exemplification of the system
was given me. in company with some
other visitors, the other day. A rou-h-looking
youth of twenty years of the
souteneur class had just liecn brought
to the depot on a charge of the three-
nmU,icmv irit-k. To the ques
tion. "Have you ever lecn here In-fore?"
a sullen "No" was elicited. "Your
name?" "Leon Renault," which ap
propriation of the identity of a former
prefect of police and distinguished ad
vocate caused a general titter. In the
twinkling of an eye the alleged first
offender was put through the mensura
tion process, which the lad rather n
nented, on the ground that he was not
there "to be made a sight of." ISut
"M. Reuault" was quickly reduced to
reason. When the measurements were
taken, one of the party was invited to
search for the duplicate in the pig.-on-hole.
In less time than it takes to
write this Leon Renault appeared tinder
the name photographic resemblance as
a certain "Rossinol." which the culprit
was at last forced to reouLze a Li

Here's the idea
The bow has a groove
on each end. A collar
runs down inside the
pendant (stem) and
tits into the grooves,
firmly locking the
bow to the pendant,
so that it cannot be
pulled or twimted off.

It is also illogical and short-sighted
to look on the improvement in machin

The Knjrlish or the crman peasant
frirl who works on the farm does much
harder and more lirutalizin-lahor than

soon as the l.ird left the rail. ICvthi.i
tlevice the fK)t! was protected from all

according to I.ishop Stanley. f Nor
wich, that a coot or water-hen had
studied the movements of the pheas
ants, and l.H'ing anxioustoget its meals
as easily as they got theirs it tried the
mx one day. As it was not heavy
enough to raise the lid.it kept jump
ing on the rail to give extra force to
its weight: still the result was not sat
isfaetorv. Accordingly, it went away,
hut returned soon with another coo't.
The weight of the two birds was now
sufficient to cause the Ikjx to open.
Telephone In Swcilrn.
In no other country of the world is
the telephone in so general use as in
Sweden, ami in no other is the service
so cheap and at the same time so per
fect. It is under government control
and the rates are fixed hy the govern
ment. A few weeks arn n n..i. i;
was opened between Stockholm ami

occasion to express the hope in the first
message to tlie Norwegians that the
line would tend to draw the twoe...,n-
- tries into closer union and aid in over- .
coming the desire of the Norwegian
radicals to break up the existing rela
tions. It is now proposed, by means of
a submarine cable, to connect the Nor
wegian and Swedish capitals with CV-

The
human jaw can exert a force of .VU
pounds according to recent experi
ments. The bhxid in its natural state
contains an amount of pure water that
is reany astonishing to one who has
not given the subject attention nearlv
seven-cighths of its entire bulk. Kiel
estimates the surface of the lungs at
150 square feet, or ten times that of the
external body. There is enough of
iron in the 1Uhh1 of 44 men to make a
I'low thare-wf 24 pounds weight.
